      others one dole each , for which is paid 2 s . 6 tL each dole , as chief rent , tihich is all they can demand . Sot to the subject : — "A nch neigUwrr , a " gentleman , " is proprietor of obs dole . The jsaid iromaxi has percelTed for some time past his desire to obtain postetaxm of her bit of land , by his -riaiming some trees gro-sriug is ihe hedge adjoining the tarnpite xoad . She put up a board in one of fhe said tires warrfng all trespassers ; hnt , Ahab like , he could « ot be happy without this bit of laud , Botsriihstanding all his possessions ; therefore , on May 23 th , he brought five men -wits Sn to fell these sod trees . The woman ' s son , s youth , perceiving their intention , declared they should not cut the

      bees do-sra . The gentleman challenged him to fight , at the same time putting himself in fighting attitude , and struck the young man ; bnt perceiving he could aol £ et him to £ ght , he ordered some of the men to hold Mm , whilst the others cut the trees . A * soon as the mother inetr she ran to rescue her son , -whom they -were ill using shamefaBy , They aazad the -woman , and pitched her dan over the hedge , into a ditch , en the road side . Shs got through the hedge again : one of them again sent her into ihe hedge by a violent blow . At the same time her daughter received a violent bkrw in the month , and another in the face , giving herablaekeye .

We saw the clothes eat to the length of f oar or five inches , and covered ' ithrblood . They threw her into the road again ; when , being Exhausted through loss of blood , she was earned home , and Mr . Clarice , surgeon , called in , -who stitched np the ^ sronnd .

Ckffft formerly a solicitor ' s clerk at Wakefield , subsf quently a maltster , but more recently an officer of the new small debts conrt of the western division of the Riding , committed suicide ™ Sonthgate , Wakefield , in the yard of the residence of Mr . Benjamin Hawcett , builder , his father-in-law , by shooting himself in the head with a | pistol . The decaued was a man of extremely loose habits .

      , his own hearthstone ; and his wife , whom he had foully wronged , I left his home i&ad sought the protection of her parent . His dissolute conduct led him into other scrapes , of which the " securities" he had to give the "Court" on his accession to office , knowtotheir cost . Latterly , he has been endeavouring ! to persuade hia wife to return to him : but this she stedfastly refused . In all probability it was fortunate for her tiiai ; she happened to be ati church on Sunday forenoon last , when ihe deceased visited her father ' s house ; or it ia not unlikely that he would have attempted her injury before he destroyed himself . An inquest was held before Thomas Lee , Esq ., coroner , on Monday evening , over the body of at the

      Clegg , house pf Mr . Joseph Firth , the White Hart inn , when the following evidence was adduced : —Susan Parkin deposed , that she lived in Mr .

      One Law for the Rich and another for the Poor . —A ' case occurred at Marlborough-street police office on Monday , which furnishes another beautiful illustration of the fact , whioh we have often had occasion to insist on—namely , that there is one law for the rich , and another tor the poor . The particulars of this case are briefly as follows : — A young scion of nobility , who , it seems , was powerfully refreshed with something considerably stronger than tea , waf driving in a cab down Shepherd-street , about four o ' clock on Monday morning , when suddenly he caught sight of a cock , and jumping down from his vehicle , commenced a vigorous pursuit of the bird , and after ! a ten minutes chase succeeded in bagging it , and was just in the act of driving off with it , when a policeman who happened to be passing at the time—a miraculous interposition , for it is a well known fact that policemen are never to be found

      when they are wanted— " knowing the fowl to be the property of a house-keeper in the street , pursued and stopped the cab , and took the aristocratic delinquent into custody . " On being brought before the sitting magistrate , that considerate functionary after hearing the statement of the case , blandly suggested that possibly the cock might have been abducted by way of a lark . THe quiok-witted policeman instantly caught at this merciful suggestion , and adroitly replied ihat he thought his Worship was right , and that the affair was a mere joke—nothing more ; whereupon the prisoner was dismissed with a fine of five shillings for having been found drunk ! The inference we draw from this magisterial decision is , that provided a man be rich and nobly descended , he may bag as many cocks as he pleases , the ciroumsfcances of his wealth and nobility being convincing proofs that he bags them with no felonious intent , but simply by way of a " lark . "

The constables then left towards Talog ^ but when on the way there they heard the sound of a horn , and immediately between 200 and 300 persons assembled together , with their faces blackened , sotne dressed in women ' s caps , and others with their coats turned , so as to be completely disguised , armed with scythes , orowbars , and all manner of destructive ! weapons which they could lay their hands on , and , after cheering the constables , defied them to do i their duty . The constables then had no alternative but to return to town without executing the warrants . The women were seen rnnning in all directions to alarm their neighbours ;

      and it is supposed , that some hundreds more were concealing themselves behind the hedges , and did not intend to make their appearance unless their services were required . We have just seen a pereon who came through Talog this morning , and when he passed the village the whole country seemed to be aroused , and waiting the arrival of the constables , who were going to levy on the premises of John Harries , of Talog Mill , for the amount of the fine and costs imposed on him by the magistrates for non-payment of tolls . There could not have been less than 200 persons assembled to resist the execution of the process , ; and vast numbers were flocking there from all quarters . Our informant states , that on his approaching Talog , a man passed him on horseback , blowing a horn as a signal to the Rebeocaites to repair thither . The magistrates met at the Town-hall to-day , to take the matter into consideration . We have not bf en informed to what determination they came . — . Carmarthen Journal .

      IRELAND . MR . O'CONNELL IN MALLOW . ( From ihe Cork Examiner of Monday Evening . ) Mallow , Sunday Night . —In no part of Ireland has there bean a demonstration more magnificent and inspiring than thatlof which Mallow was the theatre this day . , In numbers it was fully equal to any that has yet been made—in enthusiasm it could not be surpassed—indeeorum and regularity , . it . was preeminently imposing—and in the determination evinced by the countless thousands who formed the " body guard" of the Liberator , it was calculated to dissipate the idea that , the people can : be satisfied without legislative independence . The preparations for the demonstration were conduoted with zeal and

      perseverance , and j have been crowned } with signal success . For weeks past the Very Rev . Dr . Collins , P . P ., and clergy of the town and neighbouring parishes exerted their just \ influence to impress upon their flocks the imperativenece 8 sityofobedienoetothelaw 8 and deference to tHe authorities , lessons to which the strictest attention waB yielded . Cautions were Riven that the slightest injury should not be done to the plantations of the gentry—that not a bough should be cut without leave of the proprietor , and in co instance was the injunction violated .: After first mass , the Very Rev . Dr . Collins , in a brief but eloquent and energetic exhortation , took occasion to repeat the wholesome advice he had so frequently

      given . A party of the 10 th Hussars arrived here the day before yesterday from BaltincoUig , and two companies of the 56 th Regiment , under Major Leghton , and a large body of police , has been brought in from the surrounding districts . Captain Douglas , the stipendiary magistrate for Mitchelstown , has been hern also ; but having witnessed the orderly and peaceable demeanour of the thousands who assembled in Charleville and other parts of the country within the last few weeks , and apprehended no infringement oa the law , he had the soldiers and police confined to the barracks for the day—though it would have been as well to have allowed them to mingle with the maises , by whom they would be treated as friends and brothers .

      The Liberator slept last nteht at the residence of the Rev . Mr . M'Carthy , in Mitchelstown . He was received there with the liveliest demonstration of respect , attachment ' , and veneration . Bauds played through the streets till an advanced hour of the night , and this morning it was evident that the whole population Intended to accompany him in triumph on his route to Mallow . The amateur band , dressed in their gay uniform , left at nine o ' clock , accompanied by an immense concourse in cars , carriages , on > horseback and on foot ; and as they moved onwards the crowds were augmented at every point by tributary thousands , merry-hearted

      and buoyant , and pressing , in spite of heat and dust , to the centre of attract ion—the town of Mallow . Mr . O'Connell arrived in Doneraileat two o ' clock , accompanied by the Head Pacificator of Ireland . There he was received by the Reverend Dr . Collins , and other gentlemen , members of the committee . Every house waa decorated wiih boughs and flowers —arches spanned the streets—the myriads by whom he was accompanied , making the welkin ring with their soul-stirring I acclamations , and taking the most tender care that the slightest injury 6 hould not be done to the most heJpl » a .- > infant , hundreds of whom were carried in th < ir mothers' arms . Here Dr . Collinj took a Seat b . side the Liberator and the

      immense cavalcade moved on , joined at intervals by new accessions— 'the bands playing national and martial airs . The procession left If or Mallow at one o ' clock . It would be impossible to calculate the number , which were fully equal to , if they did not surpass , those who formed the memorable gathering in Cork on the occasion of the Liberator ' s last triumphant entry . The procession formed into line , under the directions of the stewards , whose orders were implicitly obeyed , j The procession went on in the most admirable order , amid the vehement cheering of the myriads and the musio of forty bands , j The heights and fields were crowded with spectators , and , according

      to the estimate of the best calculators , there could not have been less than four huiidred thousand persons congregated when ( the procession reached Mallow . Cheer followed cheer in rapid succession , and as the Liberator acknowledged the shouts by exclaiming , " Old Ire land "— «• Irjelandforthe Irish " — " Redeal "—the enthusiasm should be witnessed to be appreciated . There were few repeal wardens without their insignia of office . THe inhabitants of the districts in which the repeal fund ] has been collected , exhibited their cards either on the top of the wands

      which they carried , or on the front of their hats , or suspended from the coat button '; and as a manifestation of enthusiasm and determination , we have not witnessed , as we set out by stating , anything which surpassed this . The procession having gone through the town , returned to a large area , where a platform was erected and wher ^ theimeeting was held , The platform was crowded , and a countless multitude occupied the space in front . j The Very Rev . Dr . Collins was called by acclamation to the chair . Mr . R . B . Barry read the petition , which was proposed by W . Tracy , Esq ., seconded by Patrick Scully . Esq .

      The Rdv . Mr . M'Carthy , CiC , Mallow , then read an address to the Liberator ! Mr . O'Connell then came forjward , and was received with -tremendous cheering , which was repeated again and again for several minutes . When silence was restored , he proceeded to observe that there was one thing which gavej him pleasure , and that was the length of time he enjoyed the confidence of the people , and the ready obedience they paid to hia word , as if it was a command ; they assembling in their hundreds of thousands , } as they would assemble , joining with him in carrying out the great

      pnnoiple of peaceful agitation and restoring to the country the national dignity of ] which it was deprived—( hear , hear , and loud cheering . ) Ireland had been branded and vilified—[ the tongue of the defamer had calumniated her—arid she was laughed at as well as shs had been insulted—( hear , hear , hear)—and even one of ! the heads of the present administration branded [ her inhabitants as aliens in blood , in language , and in religion , and when he was taunted with making distinctions between Saxon and native , small blame to him—but when he was so taunted he could say that he heard it from the man who was one of the heads of their

      administration , but who , when he made the distinction , was a simple peer of Parliament—he heard tha | man say that Ireland was Jalien in languagein religion—( groans ) . He hoped they would not groan him—when he heard himj say that they were aliens in language , he replied that talking the same language , the Saxons spoke it with a hissing , croaking tone , whilst the Irish poured it out from the heart , and gave the significance of cordiality to the words they utterd—( loud cheer ?) . Yes , the Lord Chancellor of England made the taunt . He ( Mr . O'Connell ) was standing by Lord J . Russell at the time it was made . Lord John avowed he heard it afterwards in the House of Commons . The Chancellor

      could not deny it , and he ( Mr . O'Connell ) threw back aliens in t * -eir teeth , and said the Irish were not Saxons ( cheers ) He spoke of the example they were giving to the world—bat he would not speak without witnesses . He was counsel for Ireland—tlje people were his clients—he had none other—he gave up the profession in which he had been bred , and , in which he was successful , and now for the remainder of his life , which would not be long—( cries of" God forbid" )—he was * esolved to devote himself to the advocacy of the Irish people and old Ireland-f ( vehement cheers ) . And the first proposition he proposed in the face of Europe—for humble as he wap , ( Europe listened to his words—and they were carried by the wild winds of 1 ii * nfl a 1 » tT' O a heaven to the shores of free AmericaHis first ?

      . . . . pro position , tken , was that the Irish ^? ere the first people On the face of the earth ; they were the most moral , the most temperate , the most j orderly , the most religious people ' in the world- |( loud cheers ) . He said that they exceeded in religion , in morality , and in temperance , any nation on the face of the earth—( renewed cheering ) . It was the practice of the alien Saxons—he thanked Lyndhurst for the word —to boast of their superiority . \ The contest was between them and him . He would prove his case , and » Europe would ; be his witness . The honourable and learned gentleman referred at considerable length to the appropriation of the tithe Tent charge , to the ballot , the fixity of tenure , the absentee drain , &c , &o ! , and after

      observing on the threats ef physical violence with which they were menaced , he cautionedjthe people to keep themselves within the limits of the law , and let those who threatened them attack if they dare —( loud applause . ) The honourable and ] learned gentleman then went ou at some further length to comment on the threats of Peel and Wellington , and on the unconstitutional nse made of the Queen ' s name , and to the fact that Lord de Grey , in sending down his gunbrigs , asked whether Kilkeniiy was a sea-port—( laughter . ) The honourable and ) learned gentleman then referred to the progress of the Repeal rent , and to the influence it was calculated to produce , and exhorted his hearers to enroll themselves in the ranks of the association . He concluded amid vehement cheering , which was reiterated again and again for

      several minutes . Cheers having been given in succession for the Queen , the Liberator , Old Ireland and Repeal , the immense multitude separated in ihe most decorous manner—the squadrons of cavalry filing off in admirable order under the directions ofjthe leaders to their respective destinations—the oars , carriages , and footmen following , accompanied by their bands and banners .

      THE MAIL-COACH CONTRACT . ( From the Evening Post of Saturday . ) There has been a strict investigation , by order of the Post office authorities , respecting the coaches supplied by the Scotch contractor , for the Irish establishment . This inquiry was made by manufacturers of the highest professional capacity , and by men whose cbarrcter is a guaranteo for their honourable and efficient discharge of the duty . Their report goes . into minute details ; but the following letter embodies their opinions : — Dublin 29 th May , 1843 .

      Sir—We beg leave , as desired , to enclose our reports of the mail coaches examined by us in Dorset street , and cannot close them without expressing our opinion that the manufacture of the coaches , with very few' exceptions , is of the roughest and most unworkmanlike class . We are also of opinion that the bodies and other parts , after some work , will give further and decided evidence of inferior materials and workmanship . As a whole , we are of

      opinion that these coaches are not what any respectable competent coach builder would turn out as wellconstructed mail coaches , if built to order . The value of the coaches in question is , in our opinion , at least twenty-five p er cent , less than that of well built coaches . ¦ We are , sir , Your obedient servants , Thomas Hdtton . John S . Dawson .

      To George Stowe , Esq ., General Post-office . Here , upon evidence which no man can question , is the result of the change in the contract from Irish to Scotch manufacturers . Lord Lowther talked of a saving of £ 2 , 000 » -year ; but can that be saving which gives tne public , in place of the very best and safest coaches , such articles as those described by Messrs . Hutton and Dawson I What the publio have obtained is not a saving of a shilling , but a loss of twenty-five per cent upon the whole transaotion . Is it possible that Sir Robert Peel can now permit the present arrangement to continue ?

      THE DEVIL AMONG THE TAILORS . " ; 3 S . tr X > . GEHTHEi On Saturday last , Mr . J . C . Pirani , manager at ; Mr . Byam's tailoring est . Tblishment , in Bnggate , ; ( along -with his solicitor , Mr . J . E . Upton ) , attended at the Court House , before Messrs . Grace : and Nell , to support an information which had beenlaid b y him against Benjamin Spencer , better known as Bis Ben , " for having post ed on the -wails of the town certain placards emanating from the socfetv of journeymen tailor ? , an \ i which were said , to eentain malicious and libellous charges against Mr Pirani and his employer , and which placards were withont a printer ' s name , " contrary to the Etatnte , " &c . . , Tie affair originated in certain disputes between Jlx . Eyaxa aod the jouiaeymea tailors j and the

      Untitled Article

      object of the information in this case was , if possible , to obtain from the defendant the names of his employers , and thus to trace the printer of the offensive placards . ] The case having been ^ called on , * Bi £ Ben " placed himself behind , and in close contiguity to , his solicitor , Mr . Naylor , and two witnesses for the plaintiff advanced to the table and were sworn . Mr . Natxok— ( addressing the Bench)—Before the case is gone into , perhaps your Worships will order the witnesses oat of Court , except the one to be examined . i The Bbkch—All the witnesses must retire . Mr . Upton—Are there any witnesses for the defence J ' ¦ Sir . Katlor—{ turning to his client)—Have yon any witnesses , Mr . Spencer ! Defendant—No , I ' ve no witnesses ; I've nowt for no witnesses to do .

      Mr . Upton then statedHhat the information was laid against the defendant , for having distributed in the town , and thus assisted in publishing , sundry placards , containing a fabe and scandalous libel npon Mr . Hyam , and his manager , Mr . Pirani . The Act of Parliament under jwhich he was proceeding was the 35 Geo . Ill ,, c . 79 , which was entitled " An Act for the more effectual suppression of societies established for seditions and treasonable purposes , and for the better preventing treasonable and Beditious practices . " It contained provisions to restrain the printing or publishing of any papers or books whatsoever , intended to bo published or dispersed , without the name and place of abode of the printer being thereon , and made it penal in any sum not exceeding £ 20 , nor less ! than £ 5 , upon any person who might be found distributing or publishing such hills or papers as aforesaid .

      To fix the defendant With , the offence charged , a young man named Joseph Charlesworth , who had been newly rigged from ithe shelves of the " pantechnethia for the occasion , deposed that as himself and comrade were going along Call-lane , on Wednesday morning , they saw one of the bills in question , which they stood to read , and , after passing on to some distance ,- they saw the defendant posting another of the bills , and , on being asked , he gave them one , remarkingrthat he thought they were not Leeds men . The bill they received from him was the one now produced , and was the same as those that they had seen him post . In cross examination by Mr . Natlor , the witness said he was a tailor , and worked for Mr . Hyam ; he had been brought as a witness in consequence of having told a young man in the shop what he had seen .

      Another witness was then about to be examined , but Mr . Naylob rose and said he did not intend farther to deny the charge of having posted the bills ; what he contended for was , that the justicea had no jurisdiction in the matter ; he thought his Learned Friend was not aware that the Btatute linder which he had chosen to proceed had been subsequently entirely repealed . Mr . Naylor then quoted from the Act 2 and 3 Victoria , a . 12 , the preamble of which recites c . 79 in the 39 : h George III ., and which declares the same to be repealed . Section 4 of the same Act ( 2 and 3 Vic . ) also enacts that no actions for penalties shall be commenced , except in the name of the Attorney or Solicitor General in England , or the Queen's Advocate in Scotland . This statute , it would be observed , repealed the clause in the 39 Geo . III ., and , therefore , he contended , hi 3 friend was out of Court .

      Mr . Nell —( to the Magistrates' Clerk)—Is that so , Mr . Barr ! Mr . Barr . —It appears to bo so , sir , from what Mr . Naylor has read . I was not aware of it . Allow me to look at the Act . Mr . Barr then referred to the two statutes , and after a careful perusal , said to the Bench—There is no doubt , sir , that this latter statute not only repeals the former , on which the information has been laid , but repeals also your jurisdiction . The Bench . —Then we have no further power in the matter . Mr . Bakr—No , sir .

      Here was a " Cat among the pigeons" at once . Mr . Pirani advanced to his solicitor "looking unutterable things , " and Bome minutes were spent by them in comparing the statutes . At length , however , they arose , and taking their papers and books , hastily retired , ** Big Ben" coolly remarking , as they passed the place where he was still standing , " TGentile' 6 betten t' Jew this time , 1 think . " The Theatre . —The freqnenters to this place of amusement and instruction during the past week have had the pleasure to meet one of their old favourites , Mr . W . J . Hammond , who has appeared in several of his favourite characters ; and the manner in which he sustained them left but ono general impression of regret , that his stay amongst us was so limited and short . Last night was set apart for his benefit ; the performances being bespoke and

      patronized by the officers and brethren of the Masonic Lodges of the town . The company generally improves upon our liking . It contains much talent . On Monday , the play was Romeo and Juliet . The Juliet of Miss W . Scott was one of the best seen on the Leeds boards for a considerable length of time ; and the Mercutio of Mr . Pritchard was admirable . On Thursday , Miss W . Scott appeared as Catherine , in the Taming of a Shrew ; a character the very antipodes to the love-sick devoted Juliet . She was indeed a shrew ; but-ithe taming process of Mr . Pritchard , the Petruchio , brought down the haughty spirit , and humbled the high-flown notions of the 11 devil's dam . " We never saw the piece better performed . From the bills we learn that several new pieces and revivals are on the tapis ; amongst them a drama of domestic life , called Susan Hopley .

      BBALFOSD—Independent Order op the Gol » es Fleece , Bradford Usity . —Early Primrose Lodge , No . 21 , belonging to the above order , held their anniversary on Tuesday , at the bouse ef Mr . Samuel Waterburn , Ramsheari Inn , Silsbridgelane , Bradford , when the members sat down to a sumptuous dinner , which did great credit to the worthy host and hostess . The Independent Order of the Golden Fleece , B . U- —The Halifax District of the above order

      bought a very handsome clock for the use of a chapel of the New Connexion of Methodists in the neighbourhood of Qneen ' s Head , and presented it to them gratuitously . —The Royal Caledonian Lodge , No . 5 , walked , on Sunday week , in procession to the above chapel , when a good sermon was preached on the occasion . —And on Monday week , a hundred and upwards of the members of No . 1 Lodge , Snoulder of Mutton , Bradford , celebrated their anniversary , when a sumptuous dinner was provided by the worthy host and hostess .

      EOWBEN .-Tuesday last , was the Visitationday , as it is termed ; and , as is usual , when any of the good things of this life are on the stir , there was a considerable number of priests , churchwardens , and other friends of good " old Mother Church" . A dinner was provided ( of course at the expence of the parish ) to which it was presumed ample justice would be rendered ; bat how many bottles of costly ¦ wines were drunk , or howoften the parish-bowl was filled and emptied , this deponent sayeth not . On previous occasions , however , it is said , the cost of the Visitation dinner , &o . has been from twenty to thirty pounds .

Dungannon , Satdrdat NiGHT . j-One of the Repeal party , named O'Neill , brought ) forward a cross charge against an Orangeman named Reddick , for presenting a pistol at him , and ] the account that he and his witnesses gave of the transaction was as follows : — J He stated that when he heard the music he went out to the roadside with [ others to look at the procession , and , being the foremost of the party , Reddick presented a pistol at him , and told him if he did no . go back he would give him the

      same death his father got—( the father was shot at his own door some years previous by the Orangemen , and not one of them was ever prosecuted for the murder ) . This irritated O'NJBill and his friends . They broke one of the drums , an | d assaulted one of the Orangemen as described . For this assault or affray , provoked at the moment , J and wholly unpremeditated ou the part of the quarrymen , seven of them have bf en held to bail to { stand their trials ; and on the other side , informations have been taken against Reddick for presenting the pistol at O'Neill ; thus was the quarry affair bo far disposed of . I

      Mr . Coulson and the other magistrates who presided yesterday took their seats on the bench at ten o ' clock , The professional gentlemen on both sides were in attendance , and the case ' of the " wrecking " was proceeded with . | Mr . Clements read the [ names of the owners of the forty-five houses " wrecked ) " and then calkd witnesses who deposed to the j destruction of the houses of John M'Gtadugan , James . Duffy , and two other persons . 1

      James Money deposed that he saw the police and Mr . Wray standing within about seventeen perches of M'Gladugan ' s house , . when the Orangemen were throwing stones at it upon their return to Dungannon . 1 Mr . Clements said for the present he had closed his case , and what had been proved with regard to the [ few houses in question was applicable to the whole forty-five . He assured their worships that such was the state of terror that existed , it was with difficulty witnesses had been induced to come forward to prove as much as they ! did .

      Mr . Butt said there was one off his clients named Patten , who wished to tender { peace information against two persons named M'Rorry and M'Glade . Patten then came on the table . I Mr . Butt—Tell the bench what these men said about threatening your life . j Patten—Will I tell all that passed ? Mr . Butt—Yes , do . I Patten—I met M'Glade with M'Rorry . Says the latter to me , Ate you alive V I " I am , " Bays 1 " You are a fool , " says he , "to have had that meeting in Dungannon ; what is it all [ about ? I thought that yon would be the last man injthe world to bring the wreckers out to my fathers ' s house ; had I been there that day you would be the very first man I

      should have knocked down . " Then says I to him , " the reason of the meeting of that '' day was , that there was orders from the Lord Lieutenant for us to come in , and of course toe came . " j lAr . Clements—Oil , this is a new light ; . ' this is worth the whole proceeding ; go on . Witness in continuation—" Then , " says he to me , " you are a fool , as the Lord Lieutenant did not treat you well , for after ordering ] you all to come in he offers a hundred pounds reward to prosecute you . " "I believe you are right , " says I —( loud laughter ) . Then says M'Glade $ > me , " if you ever come the way again you may brine your sheet and coffin with you . " f Mr . Clements—Can you tell who it was informed yon that it Was by orders of the Lord Lieutenant that the boys were called toDunganson that day } I won't tell .
